“No, I think that’s enough.”
She scrunched up her face, she could feel a tantrum building.
Wait. Fudge knuckles. What was she doing?
She couldn’t let her Little out here. It had to be because she was upset. That’s why her Little was so close to the surface.
Faith couldn’t believe she’d been building to a tantrum. She never had tantrums. That would be extremely rude.
“I’m so sorry. I overreacted.”
“You didn’t overreact.” He placed his hand against her cheek.
A shiver of pleasure ran through her.
“She put her hands on you. And she’s a bitch.”
He dropped his hand and she had to fight against the urge to beg him to touch her again.
“I feel like I should get a badge,” she told him. “I survived the wolf of NYC.”
“Little Blossom, she’s not the wolf.”
“No?”
“No, I am. I’m the Big Bad Wolf.”
She gulped before standing and nearly tripping over the blanket that pooled at her feet. “Fudge knuckles.”
“Easy,” he commanded, jumping up to hold her steady. “Are you all right?”
“Yes, I’m fine. Just, um, I need to go.”
He eyed her for a long moment, and she expected him to protest. To tell her to sit down.
To her surprise, he nodded. “That might be best. I’ll drive you.”
“No!”
He raised his eyebrows at her adamant protest.
“I’m meeting someone for drinks.” It wasn’t actually a lie. She was meeting Asta in an hour. “I have to go. Bye.”
After rushing out of there, she leaned against the elevator with a groan.
She couldn’t believe how close she’d come to ruining everything.
She had to be more careful.

“Ms. Blossom?”
“Yes, sir?” She glanced over at Reuben as he appeared in the doorway between their offices. “I was just about to go get your lunch.”
“Our lunch,” he countered. “Get it from downstairs today.”
She frowned. “But you don’t like the food downstairs.”
